It’s the best time of the year. How I love the lights along roads, streets and houses. It’s really fascinating to see those lights floating on the river. It’s like a fantasy. It lifts my heart and spirit. It feels like this is the lightest month of the year for me. Some people may not appreciate it especially with the economic crisis aside from perennial problems our country is currently facing. Some complain of how the prices of commodities sky rocketed. Others complain of not having anything on top of the table during noche buena.

As for myself, what I really wish for is the happiness of my family. When we were kids, my tito and tita and my parents would be home for this very special time of the year. I love it when I hear a lot of voices and laughter. I love to b surrounded by the persons I love and those persons who love me. I have a comfortable life. I wouldn’t complain. That would constitute as ungratefulness. Of course, I know how to appreciate things. Over and over again, nothing beats happy times. Material things will soon fade and be forgotten. Memories are forever.

I do hope that whatever each of us is going through, we would always remember why we celebrate Christmas. It’s the birth of our Lord- Jesus Christ. As such, let’s fill the air with love and make others feel the real essence of the Season.
